Black Concrete Retaining Wall Revamp<\/h2>\n

Originally installed in 2021, this black concrete retaining wall<\/a> was initially stained using a pump sprayer. To enhance its appearance, a second round of staining was done this year using a paintbrush for crevices and a roller for broader areas. The application of two coats made a significant difference, resulting in a more polished and durable finish just in time for planting season.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”99937″ img_size=”2560×1508″ add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” css=””][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”99936″ img_size=”2560×1508″ add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” css=””][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”top-heading”][vc_column width=”1\/2″ offset=”vc_col-xs-12″][vc_tta_accordion section_title_tag=”h3″ style=”modern” color=”blue” c_icon=”” active_section=”100″ no_fill=”true” collapsible_all=”true”][vc_tta_section i_icon_fontawesome=”fas fa-chevron-down” add_icon=”true” title=”Details & Tips” tab_id=”1648001360222-d690702c-62eba273-da55″][vc_column_text css=””]Project Info:<\/strong><\/p>\n
